Taku1

I had a landing run a little long and bumped the far side of a little hill. It just slid into it with a little ‘bop’. Everything seemed fine, but the next time I flew it, any time I was over about 3/4 throttle the rudder and elevator would twitch and wiggle everywhere.
I came down and didn’t see anything obvious. Launched again and it did it again, worse and then made a racket and stopped.
Long story short, the plastic nose/firewall broke. I think it was vibrating and then the remaining plastic broke until the whole motor was dislodged. It twisted and bound up.
In retrospect, I think the vibration messed with the gyro and caused the control problem.
i went home, removed the nose, ordered a new one only like $4, but I didn’t want to wait that long to fly so I CA’d and epoxied the existing one back together and was out flying that evening.
new nose piece arrived but I still haven’t swapped it out yet. All seems fine.
